Rated 5 out of 5 by A Tibbs from Perfect Brush!This is one of my favourite brushes! Stiff yet gentle..perfect for softening my eyeliner with some shadow. I also use it to highlight the inner corners of my eyes. It could be used for gel liner as well. Everyone should have this perfect little brush! I'm ordering another. I absolutely love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jenna from in love!This brush does exactly what I need it to. I apply shadow under my waterline for a more smokey look coupled with liner or just for a less harsh look on its own. Be careful when you first use it though because the bristles are definitely very hard. I'm sure it's supposed to be so it can be as precise as it is, but after the second or third time using it, you're fine. It's wonderful!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hannah from Excellent Value!This is a handy little brush. It's small and the bristles are soft enough for easy smudging, but firm enough to apply gel eyeliner! I'm glad I pick this up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Loren B from Perfect precisionWhen I purchased this brush, I just purchased it without any idea on how I was going to use it. Then one day, I wanted a pop of color up under my lower lashes but didnt have the right pencil. **LIGHTBULB** I was using e.l.f's 144 eyeshadow palatte and had all the colors I needed right there! I pulled this brush out and went to work! It was just like using a pencil but softer. So now, I use this brush to place color in my inner corner and under my lower lashes! I'm happy with this product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by luanne613 from does the jobThis brush is great for smudging on mineral shadows as eye liners. Give a nice soft look of color. It's a bit too small for actualy eye shadow application (like in the outer corner of the eyes) though.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Beauty BLVD from This brush is a MUST have!This is a wonderful Brush! I don't even use this brush as a smudge brush. It works MUCH better as a detailing brush esp on the lower lash line and outer corner. The brush picks up color evenly, it applies it evenly and precisely where you want it to go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lady from Chicago from Love as a thin gel linerI loved this very small brush and use it with my studio cream liners. This is perfect if you prefer a delicate eye line and want more control as you build up your line. You could also use this smudge brush to apply highlighter, but the small precision studio brush seems better because it's functionally identical, just a bit larger. You can also use this smudge brush to apply powder liners, but I like the small angled studio brush for that better because its more dense, stiffer and of course- angled.

Rated 4 out of 5 by S from Pretty GoodI got this brush including several others the other day, and I finally got the chance to use this one today. All that I've got to say about this brush, is it's not designed to smudge anything, I mean you could probably smudge with this brush but it's better for applying defined lines or get liner if anything at all. and unlike the picture it's not dome shaped it's more of flat at the top. the only reason gave this a four was because it's not designed to do what it says it's supposed to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dani from Amazing GEL LINER applicatorI dont usually smudge anything. The oiliness of my lids does a decent job of that on their own. That said this brush is my HG for applying gel liner. I have a couple of different liner brushes and liners and I reach for this brush EVERY time. It is precise, compact, picks up the perfect amount of product for application and can apply a thin precise line or a thicker, more dramatic line. Will probably purchase two or even three more

Rated 5 out of 5 by xaznstylegrlx from Better than the essential versionUnlike the essentials version of this brush, it's not a sponge on a stick. There are bristles like the rest of the studio brushes. It's well made and very small.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shanie Teresa from Perfect Delight!I ordered the Studio Small Smudge brush specifically for my eyebrows. I've gone through so many eyebrow brushes and they were all a disappointment. This by far is the best brush I've stumbled upon and It's quickly becoming one of my favorites :] Ive also used it for my gel eyeliner and it works beautifully.The lines come out so great whether you want them straight, thick, or dramatic looking. It's also very easy to clean. It doesnt shed and it maintains its soft pedal.I highly recommend this brush.

Rated 4 out of 5 by keleighbean from Makes eyeliner look naturalDoes a great job of softening eyeliner for a more natural look during the day and aides in the smoky eye look. Sometimes I almost feel like it's a little too slippery and wish it was a little more coarse. Overall, I use this brush multiple times per week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Avesery from Alright. Glad I got it..I wanted it to be a little more thicker, the brushes were so small, thin, thinner than I imagined, and the stick of the brush was longer than the blending brush and eye shadow brush I got from here... for such small bristles I wish it could've been smaller, NEVERTHELESS, I like it. It is going to serve a good purpose, not sure how well it will smudge, should do an okay job, but might end up using it more for lining, or highlight, or just a line splash of color above or under my eyeliner. Very tiny. Not exactly what I wanted, but I'm glad I got it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ann from Great eyeliner brush, not smudge brushThey really should rename this brush, because it doesn't work as a smudge brush. It is too small and thin to be effective for smudging liner. However, it is an amazing eyeliner brush. It makes a really precise line so you can make it really thin if you want. It is great with gel liner or even just shadow. It is also a lot easier to use than an angled brush in my opinion. I love it, just not as a smudge brush.

Rated 2 out of 5 by yuwannano from Smudge brush? Not!I don't see how anyone could use this thing as a smudge brush. Way too soft and thin for that. You could use it as an eyeliner for your gels, but since I already have an eyeliner this was a bit of a wasted purchase. It does look nice though. If I ever lose my eyeliner brush, I'll know that I have a back up

Rated 4 out of 5 by KT from Great steal!It's super soft but stiff enough to create a precise line. I couldn't see how this could be used as smudge brush because it's way too flat and flimsy for that purpose. But I just recently got it to use with the elf cream liner and although I wanted the angled brush, this one is super easy to use even without an angled cut. I'm really happy I purchased this, it's super cute. I took off one star because the handle could use some shortening, I have a habit of bumping long handles into mirrors and it would be more compact for travel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CL from Perfect Gel Liner Brush!I don't know about smudging, but this works amazingly as a brush for gel liners - I've used much more expensive brushes that were intended for gel liners, and they didn't work half as well. This had perfect and precise application. Very durable as well, washed it a few times, no fall out and kept its shape.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CriminologyNerd from Hmm..This brush seriously sucked as a smudging brush. It was way too thin to actually smudge liner on my lower lash line so I started using it on it side as a liner brush. Yep. It's thin, small and short enough to use it as a gel liner brush.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Tina from Not a smudge brush at all...I haven't found this brush effective at all for smudging. The bristles are too short to properly smudge at the lash line. It actually just picks up color and transfers it to another area in the same line pattern...instead of blurring/smudging. I've started to use this brush to dip in my potted concealer for TINY blemishes. I also use it to dip in my potted foundation and then define my brows underneath and above. Great brush for everything BUT what's it's intended to do.
